When I opened the blinds in my office this morning this is what I saw….could you hear me clapping my hands? I even did a little dance around my desk……. so happy, so happy. For those of you who live in Vancouver, you will understand. For those of you who live in more southern locations, you will think I have totally gone crazy. Yesterday I found myself on the internet looking up SAD to see if this was my problem, but today I know that I am just missing the sunshine. These beautiful crocuses that I planted last fall are my reminder that spring it is just around the corner! How strong and hardy they are pushing their way up and through the rocks. A testament to our northern spirit.

I hear you (well, not literally!). It was a long and difficult winter in Boston too this year and finally, finally the the remaining snow melted this weekend with the rain and warm temperatures. Bring on spring!

I know what you mean about Sun Worship. I went to Palm Springs, stayed at Desert Hills Innnear the Tennis Club, love that area. The Modernism Week was wonderful, but being invitedto friend’s homes was the real treat. Mid Century magic!

I used to live in Van and I miss there so much, that I can't even explain. If you ever move out of there you'd understand how precious this city is. Just the fact that you don't have snow is a blessing! Seeing these beauties are yet another very special blessing...

5 Interior Design Blogs We Couldn't Live Without This cleanly designed and beautifully photographed blog is the creation of a generous interior designer. Vancouver based Patricia Gray shares her keen eye for style, takes us on trips around the world and points out the resources and materials that she enjoys using on a job. The later is particularly useful for interior designers. It's great to see a master designer work, to look at her resources as they appear in finished spaces, and get an analysis of why and how they function beautifully. You also get the bonus of a well-trained feng shui expert, layered on top of this interior designer, and you can better understand why Patricia's interiors exude calm, serenity, and strong flow.

Patricia Gray is an interior designer par excellence with a pedigree that would wow anyone. Her innovative design work has been featured all over the world, and in many different publications (including the renowned Architectural Digest). Patricia's warm style and originality have helped skyrocket her to the top of the interior design world, and her blog reflects this. Design 55 UK
